17th October 2010
Another scan due tomorrow, what do I expect this time…It’s my husband’s 38th birthday tomorrow and I feel so selfish to ask gift from God, in his behalf. I was talking to the Lord and I asked him to spare Luke to us and help him to be okey and healthy once he is born.
We attended the 3rd Sunday mass celebrated by our good priest friend, Fr. Edgar. I know it will be another moment for us coz I can’t help but cry every time I hear God’s message for us. I don’t know if it’s just a mere coincidence, but this is HIS message to us through the Sunday gospel:
Luke 18: 1-8
Jesus told his disciples a parable about the need to pray continually and never lose heart. ”There was a judge in a certain town” he said “who had neither fear of God nor respect form man”. In the same town there was a widow who keep on coming to him and saying, “I want justice from you against my enemy!” For a long time he refused, but at last he said to himself, “Maybe I have neither fear of God nor respect form man, but since she keeps pestering me I must give this widow her just rights, or she will persist in coming and worry me to death.” And the Lord said, “You notice what the unjust judge has to say? Now will not God see justice done to his chosen who cry to him day and night even when he delays to help them? I promise you, he will see justice done to them, and done speedily. Bu when the Son of Man comes, will he find any faith on earth?”
This seems a very clear message for me not to give up praying and to continuously trust in HIM. As Fr. Edgar said, “Kulitin mo ang Diyos, at sa bandang huli bibigay din Sya”. But one sad part of the homily says that sometimes, even how hard we prayed to God to answer our prayers, God may chose not to grant our wishes. Not because He wants us to suffer, not because He wants us to hate Him…but maybe because, He has a purpose.
